Holiday Happiness

The kids and I are doing a happy dance. Winter Break has begun!

I came home with many goodies from my boss and friends. Brownies, homemade toffee, chocolates and blueberry maple spread from Nova Scotia. The brown and white material underneath is a wrap that a friend bought while in Spain.

She also gave me an Aladdin glass ornament to go with the glass camel ornament I bought last year.

And another package arrived in the mail. This one is from Jan over at A Journey.

A lovely card, sweet calendar tag and altered notebook.

Thanks Jan! I'm inspired to create and will do just that now that I have time on my side.

I hope everyone is having a happy day! Friendship blessings, Tammy

    sweet little gifts.. Thanks for kind words.. I sometimes feel like I am the only one whom thinks the Christmas holiday has lost it's meaning... I just feel we have ruined it to a very large degree and I want it back it the form it was intented to be... Greed is not a good thing and only in the end leads to problems... Wishing you a peaceful and joyful holiday and with your thinking I know it will be... Blessings.

    Wow, and yet another package reached you... I've sent you an e-mail regarding the one I sent, since it's obvious to me that it's never coming.

    Hope you and your family have a wonderful Christmas break. Ours doesn't begin yet - not until December 22 - January 5.

    Dearest Tammy,

    That will be a special time to spend more time with your boys! Just got home from a day Atlanta. Driving is not much fun when the days are short but I made it home before dark in good two hours one way.
    You got some nice presents. That makes life interesting and worthwhile.

    Lots of love,

    Not only do you get a few weeks to be at home creating anything your little heart desires, but you got to come home with presents. Oh happy day for you!!!!!
    I hope the next two weeks are relaxing, creative, and inspiring for you, each and every day. Enjoy the break from the office!!

    love,
    Renee
